    just curious, how do you take the hotkey icon out of the system tray on start up? i also can't find it on the startup tab of msconfig.

    I believe it's called LchGKey in msconfig.

    is it only used for setting your hotkeys up? or does it play any other roles that i should know about?

    The two preprogrammed hotkeys (IE and OE) work with it disabled, but not the one application you can set. Naturally you have to have it open to set the third key. I didn't notice any other effect but I didn't play with it much. I don't know if this application is related to the game hotkeys or not because I was unable to set them.

    control panel >>> administrative tools >>> system configuration >>>> startup tab >>> find it in the list and disable it.

    you can also use a program like ccleaner (free) or i recc jv16powertools. i deleted mine from startup with jv16 and it still works fine when i use it.

    This program is the biggest "frame rate killer" I've ever seen. On my machine, having it running reduces FPS in Crysis by up to 20%! Your mileage may vary of course.
